Important: oligarchs/"champagne socialists"

Last edited Thu Jul 16, 2015, 11:00 PM - Edit history (1)

Many people like myself- frugal but wealthy support Bernie. I teach special ed. In an inner-city school because it is important and am heavily involved in our community. I am an immigrant and I support Bernie Sanders. Yes we can afford champagne etc. There are many of the 'oligarchs' who are in there for equality and fairness. We are appalled that some Democratic candidates are against heathcare for all, against breaking up the banks, pro fracking, pro Arctic drilling, pro selling out the workers of this country to TPP, couldn't care less about veterans, people on Medicare, Medicare etc. I could go on. Some people WITH money do care and will do anything to share and promote a fair society. Feel the Bern!!!!!

every demographic. Selfishness, meanness and stupidity are also spread across the board, unfortunately. It's too easy just to see the demographic instead of individuals who make up a demographic.
